Merry Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Scott didn't have to work over the holidays and with them being on a weekend it was a great treat having him home so much. On Christmas Eve we went to the mall and did some last minute shopping, then we baked and decorated sugar cookies, and played games.

On Christmas morning Dallin woke up first and came and got us up as well. I wasn't sure how he would react this year because last year we still had to open his gifts for him. Boy was he excited when he came down stairs!! He ran over to the tree and started slapping all the presents. It was so fun to watch him get so excited this year!!

We opened presents and then had breakfast. We spent the rest of the day cooking, playing with new toys and watching movies before going to hang out with some friends that night.

We had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to celebrating more when we visit Aimee's family over New Year's this next weekend!! We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

Big Boy Potty

Dallin decided that he wanted to go poo in the toilet this morning when he woke up. He has tinkled in the toilet before bath time, but then he lost interest in it for a couple months. I would continually ask him if he wanted to go in the big potty and he would always refuse.

Scott was thinking of getting him a training potty for Christmas and I told Scott we would hold off until Dallin showed interest in it again. I'm not about to start potty training until Dallin is ready for it. I think that when it is his idea he will be more excited about it. So, I guess it might be time to start thinking about getting him a new potty.

New Furniture

Before Christmas there were a few things we wanted to get done. First, get Dallin into a big boy bed and second, purchase a dining room table so we would have a place to eat Christmas dinner. We were able to accomplish both on Saturday.

Dallin absolutely loves his new bed, and I was proud of myself for finding a great deal because I have been looking for months. He has been out of his crib for awhile, but now he has a cute big boy bed to sleep in.

Here is our new table. It fits great in our dining room and we are excited to be able to have our friends over for dinner or games. Our house feels more cozy now that we filled this big open spot with a table. Merry Christmas to us a week early!!!

December Update

Half the month is already gone so I thought it was time for a post. It definitely has felt like winter. It's been cold and it snowed here on Saturday night. It didn't snow much just enough to make everything white for December. And the snow is still on the ground because it hasn't warmed up.

I've been baking yummy goodies and Scott loves to build fires in our fireplace. Dallin thinks everytime I have my camera or phone out that he has to have his picture taken in front of the fireplace. He will run over and sit on the bricks until we take his picture. So cute!!

We had our Ward Christmas Program on Saturday that we helped plan. Scott sang a solo of "O Holy Night" and did a fantastic job, but we all know he has an amazing voice! We were released from the activities committee since they will no longer have them at church and we got new callings on Sunday. Scott is the new Assistant Ward Mission Leader and I am a Ward Missionary, so we will still be working together in our callings.
